BTW - you might have done better by using Alaska in your comparison - but you probably forgot that they were a state. I think maybe your friends were trying to tell you something.

I just don't see why you get so worked up about these things, JD. People are allowed to have opinions, and yes, there are a LOT of stupid/ignorant people in the US as well as other places. Just because BoP has a different opinion than you doesn't mean she's ignorant (I'd say she's far from it, and we differ in opinion on most things).
And Maine isn't our northernmost "continental" state...Minnesota is, so I don't think that there are many parts of Canada that are lower than Minnesota. But, i could be way off. I really like my sig because it's always changing. Actually, I kind of miss Hector's old sig, even though it was long.

EDIT: Starr, parts of Ontario and Quebec swoop down, to meet the states, with the Great Lakes in between. and the capital city is indeed further south than most of Maine as well as parts of Michigan, Minnestota, North Dakota, etc...In fact they're further south than I am at this very moment, and the only ice around here right now is in little cubes in my freezer. But you are right about Maine in relation to Minnesota, though.

Star Polish - the border of the USA with Canada is along the 49 parallel. So the most northern border of the US states are - Washington State, Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota. The northern part of Maine is about at the 47th parallel.

you're right, I did edit my post--it must have been after you read it the first time, but before you hit "quote", because you notice that your post quotes me as saying "lower 48"...guess that one was my fault

nope, I did not do that *trembles in fear of a title change as punishment for such bad behavior*. I think the only mis-use of Mod Powers I've ever done (and only once or twice, and really, at least a year ago!) is go through and correct spelling and grammar for people whose arguements I support... thank you for tuning in to Crickhollow's life of crime. We now return to our regularly scheduled broadcast:
OK, I now found the funniest quote I've seen in a sig in a long, long, time. Lalaith_Elf, your "I tried sniffing coke once, but the ice cubes stuck in my nose" quote made me just put my head down on my desk and laugh the first time I read it.

Wow, who would've thought my sig wouldn't raised this much rile?
JD, If my sig makes me ignorant, then you had better add in at least 20 masters students, and more than 50+ undergraduate science students, and the entire Geography staff who voted the slogan in... Wanna know how many of 'em are Americans? ::infuriating grin::

What would make my sig a lot cooler is if I could put more names of mooters in it. I've got 14 names right now and I'd sure like more. Help me, please.
